A tale about fixing eBPF spinlock issues in the Linux kernel | Ritesh Oedayrajsingh Varma

A system freeze led us deep into Linux spinlock internals, where we helped find not one but three bugs in the kernel's resilient locking code used by eBPF.

@mpts @CuratedHackerNews Cloudflare have some #eBPF based sexiness and Microsoft took the hook it uses too, so we are playing catchup: https://blog.cloudflare.com/its-crowded-in-here/
It's crowded in here!

We recently gave a presentation on Programming socket lookup with BPF at the Linux Plumbers Conference 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal.

@bms48 @CuratedHackerNews How important is the #eBPF support actually?

@CuratedHackerNews Also this story is beginning to smell like #AIHype in disguise. Issues like us not having #eBPF support yet are surely more important. #FreeBSD doesn't "risk losing relevance" for the given reason. The original author is frankly talking b*llocks.

I've updated the list of academic #eBPF papers with recent papers from @sospconf, S&P, and @acm_ccs from last year: https://pchaigno.github.io/bpf/2025/01/07/research-papers-bpf.html. That makes 20 eBPF papers published in the top conferences in 2025 vs. 17 in 2024.

Interactive list of eBPF research papers from top conferences according to CSRankings. The list can be filtered according to types of publications (ex., improving, using) and areas (ex., networking, verifier, offload, security).
